Day 3: You Are Made to Glorify God
We live in a self-glorifying culture. The path to happiness seems paved with self-worship and self-promotion. We see celebrities, athletes, and influencers get rewarded for their self-exaltation, while the rest of us try to follow suit or wonder why we’re not quite good enough. This lifestyle might sparkle and shine, but eventually, the glitter wears off. The “likes” stop coming. Someone else shinier comes along. Thankfully, we have been made for so much more than a life that’s all about us.

Our true purpose is popularly summarized in the Westminster Shorter Catechism, which says our chief end or purpose is “to glorify God and to enjoy him forever.” As God’s image-bearers, we have been made to glorify God with our lives, to enjoy His goodness, and to make Him known.

�We can’t add to or take away from God’s glory, but we can honor, praise, and worship Him through our thoughts, actions, and relationships. When we live in a way that shines the spotlight on God, rather than ourselves, we are the most alive and happy. We have purpose and joy.

When we turn away from self-focus and fix our eyes above, we live in gratitude to God who is the giver of an ever good and perfect gift. We humbly acknowledge that apart from God we are nothing. We begin to really shine as we relax into the destiny God has for us: to be loved by Christ, to bring Him glory, and to love others well.

You have been made to glorify God and as you do you will find true purpose and peace.

Reflect�
How can you glorify God through the gifts and passions He’s given you?

��Prayer
�God, Thank You for inviting me into a greater story — to live fully alive and satisfied in You. I acknowledge that every good and perfect gift in my life comes from You, and I resolve to glorify You in all I do and say so that others may know of Your goodness and love.

“for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭17‬:‭28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/act.17.28.NKJV

“Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭31‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/1co.10.31.NKJV

Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

HOUSING NEWS TODAY!

The Coronavirus pandemic seems to be pushing homeowners from cities into rural and suburban areas. According to a July study by Redfin, before the pandemic 9% of homebuyers said they were looking for a home in rural areas. However, as the pandemic stretches into its 6th month in the U.S., 19% now say they are considering more rural options. Redfin Economist Taylor Marr
notes, “Now we’re seeing concrete evidence that rural and suburban neighborhoods are more attractive to homebuyers than the city, partly because working from home means commute times are no longer a major factor for some people.” This increase in demand has driven up home prices in rural areas by 11.3% Y-o-Y

New Construction on the Rise

New construction of both single-family and multifamily homes jumped in July – up 23% Y-o-Y. This is almost back to pre- pandemic levels from the first quarter. The rise in multifamily units may lead to an oversupply of apartment buildings, especially in cities as consumers are looking to move to suburban and rural areas. This oversupply could lead to sluggish apartment rent growth moving forward. However, the rise in new single-family units is beneficial as inventory remains low – down 19% from a year ago. Inventory shortages should be expected for the rest of 2020 and if these trends continue, there may be a more balanced market in

Movie Lover’s Dream?
Remember back when renting a movie required driving to your nearest Blockbuster store and walking through aisles of movies to find the one you wanted? Well, a few lucky residents in Oregon were able to relive those days in a big way. Sandi Harding, manager of the last remaining Blockbuster movie rental located in Bend, Oregon, has put her store up for rent on Airbnb. Beginning August 17th, residents of Deschutes County were able to book one of three nights available for a “totally rad, yet intimate slumber party at the world's last BLOCKBUSTER store.” Harding converted part
of the store into a “living room” complete with a pullout couch and big screen TV, and, of course, the lucky renters were able to watch

any movie in the store during their stay.
